PART I

Item 1. Business

     Captec Franchise Capital Partners L.P. IV (the “Partnership”), a Delaware limited partnership, was organized on July 23, 1996 for the purpose of acquiring income-producing commercial real properties and equipment leased on a “triple net” or “double net” basis, primarily to operators of national and regional chain franchised fast food and family style restaurants, as well as other national and regional retail chains.

     The initial general partners of the Partnership were Captec Franchise Capital Corporation IV (the “Corporation”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Captec Financial Group, Inc. (“Captec”), an affiliate, and Patrick L. Beach, the Chairman of the Board of Directors, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation and Captec. In August 1998, Captec Net Lease Realty, Inc. (“Captec Net Lease”), an affiliate, acquired the General Partnership interest of the Partnership. In December 2001, Captec Net Lease merged with and into Commercial Net Lease Realty, Inc. (“Commercial Net Lease”). In connection with the merger, Commercial Net Lease agreed to sell and assign its General Partnership interest in the Partnership to GP4 Asset Acquisition, LLC (“GP4 Asset Acquisition”), which is wholly-owned by Mr. Beach and is an affiliate of Captec. Effective January 15, 2002, the limited partners consented to the transfer of the General Partnership interest. On September 11, 2003, the Partnership’s secured lender consented to the transfer of the general partnership interest to GP4 Asset Acquisition. Upon receipt of the secured lender’s consent, the general partnership interest was immediately transferred to GP4 Asset Acquisition. Therefore, as of September 11, 2003, GP4 Asset Acquisition became the general partner of the Partnership.

     The Partnership commenced a public offering (the “Offering”) of up to 30,000 limited partnership units (the “Units”), priced at $1,000 per Unit, registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, by means of a Registration Statement filed on Form S-11, which was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 23, 1996. The Partnership accepted subscriptions for the minimum number of Units on March 5, 1997 and immediately commenced operations. The Offering was fully subscribed in December 1998. Since 1999, 845 Units have been repurchased by the Partnership pursuant to the terms of the Repurchase Plan set forth in the Partnership’s December 23, 1996 prospectus with respect to the Offering. At December 31, 2003, the Partnership had 29,155 Units issued and outstanding.

     The principal investment objectives of the Partnership are: (i) preservation and protection of capital; (ii) distribution of cash flow generated by the Partnership’s leases; (iii) capital appreciation of Partnership properties; (iv) generation of increased income and protection against inflation through escalation of base rents or participation in gross revenues of tenants of Partnership properties; and (v) deferred taxation of cash distributions to the limited partners.

     The properties generally are leased on terms which provide for a base minimum annual rent with fixed increases on specific dates or indexation of rent to indices such as the Consumer Price Index. The equipment is leased only pursuant to leases under which the present value of non-cancellable rental payments payable during the initial term of the lease is at least sufficient to permit a lessor to recover the purchase price of the equipment.

     The Partnership has no employees. The General Partner and its affiliates, however, are permitted to perform services for the Partnership.

Item 2. Description of Properties

     As of December 31, 2003, the Partnership had a portfolio of 22 properties located in 10 states, with a cost basis of $33.0 million, 7 performing equipment leases with an original investment of $1.9 million and one repossessed equipment package related to a defaulted equipment contract. The properties are leased to twelve operators of restaurant concepts and four retail operators.

     As of December 31, 2003, operating leases to S&A Restaurants Corporation, United Supermarkets, Inc. and Hollywood Entertainment Corp. represented 17.38%, 14.14% and 9.03% respectively, of the annualized rent from the total portfolio. Any performance failure under these leases could materially adversely affect the Partnership’s income and financial position.

     As of December 31, 2003, approximately 88.5% of the properties owned by the Partnership are occupied and the related leases are performing, and all of the Partnership’s investments in equipment subject to financing leases are performing. The Partnership has two properties which are vacant and for which rental payments have been delinquent approximately fourteen months. The tenant experienced financial difficulties that resulted in the store’s recent closure. The Partnership is actively seeking to re-tenant the

properties as well as pursuing rights and remedies under the leases to collect all the amounts owed. In addition, the lease for a third property was terminated during the fourth quarter and a lease termination agreement was executed. The Partnership received approximately $254,000 which was applied as revenue from the property. The Partnership is actively seeking to re-tenant the property. The General Partner does not have sufficient evidence at this time to believe impairment exists on any of the vacant properties.

     As of December 31, 2003, the Partnership had one impaired equipment lease with a recorded investment of $15,000, net of a related allowance of $260,542. The net investment in the impaired lease represents the estimated net proceeds that the Partnership expects to receive on liquidating the equipment

     The following is a summary description of the property and equipment leases as of December 31, 2003.

(1) Rent Increase equals the lesser of CPI or 10%.

Leases

     Real Estate Leases: All of the properties are subject to triple net leases on the Partnership’s form of standard lease pursuant to which the tenant is responsible for all expenses related to the cost of operating the properties, including real estate taxes, insurance, maintenance and repair costs. As of December 31, 2003, original base terms of the property leases ranged from 14 to 20 years, and the weighted average remaining base term of the property lease portfolio was 13 years. Certain of the leases provide the tenant with one or more options to renew the lease upon expiration of the base term at predetermined or market rental rates. All but two of the leases provide for increases in the monthly rents during the base term of the lease, with most of these determined based upon fixed, contractual rates of increases. One of the leases provide for rental increases based upon the lesser of a fixed percentage or changes in the Consumer Price Index. The timing of rental increases is specified in the leases, but generally occurs no more often than annually and no less often than once every five years.

     Equipment Leases: All of the equipment leases are on the Partnership’s standard form of lease pursuant to which the lessee is responsible for all expenses related to the equipment, including taxes, insurance, maintenance and repair costs. All of the equipment was purchased with cash from Offering proceeds. As of December 31, 2003, original base terms of the equipment leases ranged from 5 to 9 years, and the weighted average remaining base term of the equipment lease portfolio was 13 months. All of the leases provide for fixed monthly rents during the entire term of the lease. Approximately 78% of the equipment leases provide the lessee with the option to purchase the equipment for a nominal purchase price ($1) upon expiration of the base lease term.

Summary of Investment Objectives and Policies

     The Partnership acquires income-producing property and equipment which are leased primarily to operators of nationally franchised fast-food, family style and dinner house restaurants as well as other franchised service-type businesses such as automotive and specialty retail franchises. Properties are selected for acquisition based on an examination and evaluation by the General Partner, or an affiliate, of the potential value of the site, the financial condition and business history of the proposed tenant or lessee, area demographics, prospective purchase price and lease terms, geographic and market diversification, and potential operating results. Similar analyses are utilized in selecting equipment for inclusion in lease packages. The Partnership anticipates that fee interests in real property will be acquired, although other interests (including acquisitions of buildings subject to a long-term ground lease) may be acquired if it is deemed to be advantageous to the Partnership. In no event is property or equipment acquired unless a satisfactory lease commitment has been obtained from a suitable tenant or lessee as further described below.

     In selecting specific properties, the General Partner generally requires the following:

     (i) Base annual rent that provides a specified minimum return on the contract purchase price of the property; and

     (ii) An initial lease term of between ten and twenty years.

     In selecting specific equipment, the General Partner typically requires the following:

Table of Contents

     (i) Leases providing for fixed rents structured to return 100% of the cost of the equipment plus yield a return equivalent to market interest rates over the lease term; and

     (ii) Terms of five to seven years with residual values of equipment at the end of such terms expected to be minimal.

     The determination of whether particular properties or equipment should be sold or otherwise disposed of is made after consideration of relevant factors, including performance or projected performance of the property or equipment and market conditions, with a view toward achieving the principal investment objectives of the Partnership.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings

     On November 19, 2002, the Partnership was named as one of the defendants in a personal injury suit relating to an alleged unsafe walkway at a property owned by the Partnership. The general Partner and Partnership have denied any wrongdoing and intend to vigorously contest the matter. The Partnership has insurance, which would cover any amounts less retention that may ultimately be paid.

Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

     None

PART II

Item 5. Market for Registrant’s Limited Partnership Interests and Related Security Holder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

     There is no public market for the Units and the Partnership does not currently expect that any market will develop. There are restrictions upon the transferability of Units, including the requirement that the General Partner consent to any transferee becoming a substituted Limited Partner (which consent may be granted or withheld at the sole discretion of the General Partner). In addition, restrictions on transfer may be imposed under state securities laws. As of December 31, 2003, Units were held by 1,569 investors of record. In the last three years, the Partnership has not engaged in the sale of any Units.

     The Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, contains provisions that may have an adverse impact on investors in certain “publicly traded partnerships.” If the Partnership were to be classified as a “publicly traded partnership,” income attributable to the Units would be characterized as portfolio income and the gross income attributable to Units acquired by tax-exempt entities would be unrelated business income, which could render the Units less marketable. The General Partner will, if necessary, take appropriate steps to ensure that the Partnership will not be deemed a “publicly traded partnership.”

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

     When used in this discussion, words such as “intends,” “anticipates,” “expects,” “will,” “could,” “estimate,” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those described herein. Such risks and uncertainties, some of which are beyond the Partnership’s control, include, but are not limited to, the following: (i) the possibility that tenants and lessees may default in making rent payments, (ii) the risk of fire or other casualty interrupting cash flow from a property, (iii) the inability to enter into leases at the assumed rental rates, (iv) unexpected expenses, and (v) the inability to sell properties at anticipated prices and/or times.

     As a result of these and other factors, the Partnership may experience material fluctuations in future operating results on a quarterly or annual basis, which could materially and adversely affect its business, financial condition and operating results. Any statements contained in this report or any document incorporated herein by reference that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. These statements by their nature involve substantial risks and uncertainties, some of which are beyond the Partnership’s control, and actual results may differ materially depending on a variety of important factors, many of which are also beyond the Partnership’s control. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this report. The Partnership disclaims, except as may be required by law, any obligations to update or release revisions to these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this report or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

Results of Operations - 2003 to 2002

     For the year ended December 31, 2003, operating revenue increased 5% to approximately $3.9 million compared to approximately $3.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2002. Rental revenue from operating leases for the year ended December 31, 2003 increased by $49,000 compared to the year ended December 31, 2002, due to the acquisition of a Taco Bell property in April 2003. Operating revenues include lease termination fee of approximately $254,000 in the fourth quarter of 2003. Earned income from financing leases for 2003 decreased 36% to approximately $199,000, compared to approximately $310,000 for 2002, due to the amortization of principal balances and the termination and disposition of equipment leases in 2003.

     Operating expenses decreased 6% to approximately $2.0 million for 2003, compared to approximately $2.1 million for 2002, principally due to the provision for losses in 2002 related to an impaired equipment lease which was partially offset by increased administrative expenses from increased professional fees, an increase in the depreciation expense due to the acquisition of a Taco Bell property in April 2003 and the increase in interest expense due to the issuance of the additional debt in connection with the purchase of the Taco Bell property. The Partnership recorded a provision of $196,000 in December 2002 to reserve for losses anticipated in connection with an impaired equipment lease. Rental payments on this lease are delinquent by more than 90 days, and income accrual has been suspended by the Partnership. The tenant, a Denny’s restaurant franchisee, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in September 2001 and subsequently converted to a Chapter 7 filing in May 2002. The restaurant in which the equipment is located is a leased facility. The landlord, who had been operating the restaurant during the bankruptcy period, decided to discontinue operation of the restaurant in December 2002, and accordingly the reserve allowance was increased as described above.

     Other income for 2003 was approximately $51,000 partly due to the disposition of an equipment lease in April 2003, two equipment leases in August 2003 and one in October 2003 for aggregate cash proceeds of approximately $345,000, resulting in a gain of approximately $46,000. The remaining income of $4,000 was attributable to late fees.

     As a result of the foregoing, the Partnership’s net income for 2003 increased 23% to approximately $1.9 million compared to $1.6 million in 2002. The Partnership is not subject to income taxation as all of its income and expenses flow through to the Partners. During the year ended December 31, 2003, the Partnership made distributions to limited partners totaling $2.7 million, compared to $3.1 million for the preceding year.

Results of Operations - 2002 to 2001

     For the year ended December 31, 2002, operating revenue decreased 4% to approximately $3.7 million compared to approximately $3.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2001. Rental revenue from operating leases for the year ended December 31, 2002 remained unchanged at $3,364,000. Earned income from financing leases for 2002 decreased 32% to approximately $310,000

compared to approximately $457,000 for 2001 due to the amortization of principal balances and the suspension of income recognition in January 2002 on an impaired equipment lease.

     Operating expenses increased 12% to approximately $2.1 million for 2002 compared to approximately $1.9 million for 2001. The increase in operating expenses is principally due to increased interest expense resulting from the $1.5 million term note that the Partnership entered into in November 2001 and an increase in the provision for losses related to an impaired equipment lease. The note was used to provide cash for future property acquisitions. The Partnership recorded a provision for losses of $65,000 in 2001 and subsequently recorded an additional provision of $196,000 in December 2002 to reserve for losses anticipated in connection with an impaired equipment lease. Rental payments on this lease are delinquent by more than 90 days, and income accrual has been suspended by the Partnership. The tenant, a Denny’s restaurant franchisee, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in September 2001 and subsequently converted to a Chapter 7 filing in May 2002. The restaurant in which the equipment is located is a leased facility. The landlord, who had been operating the restaurant during the bankruptcy period, decided to discontinue operation of the restaurant in December 2002 and, accordingly, the reserve allowance was increased as described above.

     Other income for 2001 of $14,000 was attributable to late fees and interest income on short-term investments.

     As a result of the foregoing, the Partnership’s net income for 2002 decreased 20% to approximately $1.6 million compared to $1.9 million in 2001. The Partnership is not subject to income taxation as all of its income and expenses flow through to the Partners. During the year ended December 31, 2002, the Partnership made distributions to limited partners totaling $3.1 million, compared to $3.2 million for the preceding year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     In December 1996, the Partnership commenced its Offering of up to 30,000 limited partnership Units. Net proceeds after offering expenses were approximately $26.1 million.

     In December 1998, the Partnership entered into a $6.4 million term note. The Partnership entered into an additional $3.3 million term note in March 1999. Proceeds from the notes were used to acquire additional properties. The notes each have a 10-year term, are collateralized by certain properties subject to operating leases, and bear interest at rates ranging from 8.1% to 8.5% per annum.

     The Partnership purchased one net leased real estate property in October 2000 and assumed a $3.75 million term note in connection with the acquisition. The note has a 10-year term and bears interest at the rate of 8.35% per annum.

     In November 2001, the Partnership entered into an additional $1.5 million note. The note has a 2-year term, is collateralized by certain properties subject to operating leases and bears interest at a rate equal to prime plus 2% per annum. Proceeds from this note were used to repay approximately $700,000 of short-term borrowings and to provide working capital intended to be used to fund Unit repurchases and potential property acquisitions. In November 2003, the Partnership extended this note for an additional two years.

     In April 2003, the Partnership acquired a property located in Harrison, Ohio subject to an existing lease with a Taco Bell Franchisee. The property was purchased from an affiliate for a price of $1,100,000 plus acquisition fees of $55,000, which the Partnership funded with $230,000 of cash and $920,000 of proceeds from two term notes issued in connection with the purchase. The first note in the aggregate principal amount of $862,000 has a 5-year term, is collaterized by a certain property subject to an operating lease, and bears interest at a rate equal to 6.25% per annum. The second note in the aggregate principal amount of $57,500 has a 2-year term and bears interest at a variable rate equivalent to the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) prime rate plus 1/2%. The interest rate is adjusted monthly for changes in the WSJ prime rate.

     Debt issuance costs of approximately $634,710 incurred in connection with the issuance of the notes are being amortized into interest expense over the life of the notes using the straight-line method.

     As of December 31, 2003, the Partnership had a portfolio of 22 properties located in 10 states, with a cost basis of $33.0 million, 7 performing equipment leases with an original investment of $1.9 million and one repossessed equipment package related to a defaulted equipment contract. The remaining net investment in the Partnership’s leased equipment is $327,000, net of $1.6 million of aggregate principal collections on financing leases during the life of those investments. Inclusive of the above amount, the Partnership has received approximately $6.8 million of aggregate principal collections on its financing leases during the life of those investments. As of December 31, 2003, the Partnership has not made, nor does it intend to make, any commitments to purchase additional properties.

Table of Contents

     The Partnership semi-annually considers written requests to repurchase Units pursuant to the terms of the repurchase plan set forth in the Partnership’s prospectus with respect to the Offering. Since 1999, 845 Units have been repurchased by the Partnership pursuant the repurchase plan. At December 31, 2003, the Partnership had 29,155 Units issued and outstanding. The Partnership expects to fund future Unit repurchases out of working capital reserves and net sale or refinancing proceeds, but may also fund such repurchases out of cash flow. The Partnership is not obligated to accept Unit repurchase requests if the Partnership does not have the liquidity to fund such requests and/or if the Partnership does not have sufficient Cash Flow to distribute the 10% Current Preferred Return.

     The Partnership expects that only limited amounts of liquid assets will be required for existing properties since its property and equipment leases require tenants and lessees to pay all taxes and assessments, maintenance and repairs and insurance premiums, including casualty insurance thereby minimizing the Partnership’s operating expenses and capital requirements. The General Partner expects that the cash flow to be generated by the Partnership’s properties and equipment will provide adequate liquidity and capital resources to pay operating expenses and provide distributions to Limited Partners.

Critical Accounting Policies

     The financial statements are prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), which requires the Partnership to make certain estimates and assumptions. A summary of the Partnership’s significant accounting policies is provided in note 1 to the financial statements. The following section is a summary of certain aspects of those accounting policies that require management estimates and judgment.

     When real estate properties are acquired, acquisition costs are allocated to components of the property using relative fair values based on historical experience and the Partnership’s current judgment. These assumptions and estimates impact the amount of costs allocated between land and building, depreciation expense, and gains or losses recorded on sales of properties.

     Receivables are reported net of allowance for doubtful accounts and may be uncollectible in the future. The Partnership reviews its receivables regularly for potential collection problems in computing the allowance recorded against its receivables. This review process requires the Partnership to make certain judgements regarding collections that are inherently difficult to predict.

     The Partnership’s operating leases have scheduled rent increases which occur at various dates throughout the lease terms. Increases to rental income on leases that provide for rental increases based on changes in the Consumer Price Index commence being recognized when the increase is known. The Partnership recognizes the total rent, as stipulated by the lease agreement, as income on a straight-line basis over the term of each lease for those leases with fixed percentage increases subject to reasonably ensured collectibilty. To the extent rental income on the straight-line basis exceeds rents billable per the lease agreement, an amount is recorded as unbilled rent. In addition to scheduled rent increases, certain of the Partnership’s leases also have percentage and overage rent clauses, which the Partnership recognizes after the tenants’ reported sales have exceeded the applicable sales breakpoint.

     The Partnership periodically reviews its real estate portfolio for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the property may not be recoverable. If an impairment loss is indicated using the undiscounted cash flows, the loss is measured as the amount by which carrying amount of the asset exceeds the estimated fair value of the asset on a discounted cash flow basis.

Item 7A. Qualitative and Quantitative Disclosures About Market Risk

     Credit risk relates to investment in leases and accounts receivable balances and results from the possibility that a lessee defaults on its contractual obligation to the Partnership. Both the ability of the lessees to pay rent on a timely basis and the amount of the rent (which is the Partnership’s principal source of income) are affected by general economic conditions. A default by a lessee or other premature termination of a lease agreement will interrupt rental payments and Partnership cash flows would be temporarily impacted. In such an instance, the General Partner expects that it would find a substitute lessee, however, there can be no assurances that the property or equipment could be leased on comparable or acceptable terms. The Partnership monitors this risk by performing ongoing credit evaluations of lessees and maintains allowances for potential credit losses.

     The Partnership is exposed to interest rate risks, primarily as a result of its long-term fixed rate debt used to finance its investments. The Partnership’s approach to interest rate risk management is to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows by matching investments with long-term fixed rate borrowings to the extent possible. A change in interest rates will not affect the interest expense associated with the fixed rate debt. Changes in the interest rate environment upon maturity of this fixed rate debt could have an effect on the Partnership’s future cash flows and earnings, depending on whether the debt is replaced with other fixed rate debt, variable rate debt, or equity or repaid by the sale of assets. Current Notes Payables mature in 2005 and in the years 2008 through 2010.

     The carrying amounts and estimated fair values of the Notes Payable are as follows:

Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data

     See Index to Financial Statements on Page F-I of this Form 10-K for Financial Statements and Financial Statement Schedules, where applicable.

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.

     On September 24, 2003, the Partnership dismissed PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PWC”) as the Partnership’s certifying accountant. PWC’s reports on the financial statements for the past two years contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were the reports qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles. The decision to change accountants was approved by GP4 Asset Acquisition, LLC, the Partnership’s sole manager. The Partnership does not have a board of directors or audit committee. During the last two fiscal years and through the subsequent interim period, there were no disagreements with PWC on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure. Moreover, during the last two fiscal years and during the subsequent interim period PWC did not advise the Partnership that (a) the internal controls necessary for the Partnership to develop reliable financial statements did not exist, (b) the Partnership needed to expand significantly the scope of its audit, or (c) PWC was aware of information that on its face, or if further investigated, (i) made, or would have made, PWC unable to rely on management’s representations, (ii) made, or would have made, PWC unwilling to be associated with the financial statements prepared by management, or (iii) materially impacted, or would have materially impacted, the fairness or reliability of a previously issued audit report or the underlying financial statements, or the financial statements issued or to be issued covering the fiscal period(s) subsequent to the date of the most recent financial statements covered by an audit report, including information that could have prevented PWC from rendering an unqualified report on those financial statements.

     The Partnership engaged Ernst & Young LLP (“Ernst & Young”) as the Partnership’s certifying accountant as of October 7, 2003. During 2002 and 2001 and in the subsequent interim period from January 1, 2003 through October 7, 2003, the Partnership did not consult with Ernst & Young on items that concerned the application of accounting principles generally, or to a specific transaction or group of either completed or proposed transactions, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Partnership’s financial statements, or any other matters or reportable events as set forth in Items 304(a)(2)(i) and (ii) of Regulation S-K.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

     Mr. Beach, acting in his capacity as the principal executive officer of GP4 Asset Acquisition, is ultimately responsible for the disclosure controls and procedures of the Partnership. Disclosure controls and procedures are established and maintained by the Partnership to ensure the information required to be disclosed by the Partnership in the reports that it files or submits pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Act”), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms. Mr. Beach has evaluated the effectiveness of the Partnership’s disclosure controls and procedures as of a date within 90 days prior to the filing date of this report, and has determined that the Partnership’s disclosure controls and procedures effectively communicate the information required to be disclosed by the Partnership in the reports it files or submits under the Act in a manner that allows timely decisions regarding such disclosure.

     There have been no significant changes in the Partnership’s internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the evaluation date, including, but not limited to, any corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.

PART III

Item 10. Directors and Executive Officers of the Registrant

     The Partnership has no directors, officers or other employees. To the best knowledge of the Partnership, as of December 31, 2003, no person beneficially owned more than 5.0% of the outstanding Units.

     Patrick L. Beach is the sole member of CRC Asset Acquisition LLC, the sole member of GP4 Asset Acquisition and the President of GP4 Asset Acquisition, the Partnership’s General Partner.

     Mr. Beach attended the University of Michigan and graduated from its School of Business Administration in 1977 with a Bachelor of Business Administration degree. From 1997 until 2001, Mr. Beach served as the Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer

of Captec Net Lease. Since 1981, he has served as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Captec Financial Group, Inc., affiliate of the Partnership, that is involved in the acquisition and development of single tenant restaurant properties, shopping centers, and multi-family residential properties.

     Since the Partnership has no directors, officers or employees, it has not adopted a code of ethics.

Item 11. Executive Compensation

     The Partnership does not have directors, officers or employees. All amounts paid by the Partnership for management and administration services are pursuant to agreements described under Item 13, Certain Relationships and Related Transactions.

Item 12. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Securityholder Matters

     The Partnership has no directors or officers and, to the best knowledge of the Partnership, as of December 31, 2003, no person known by the Partnership beneficially owned more than 5% of the outstanding Units.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions

     Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, the General Partner receives acquisition fees of 4%, plus an additional .00624% for each 1% of indebtedness incurred in acquiring properties and equipment, of the aggregate purchase prices of properties and equipment (not to exceed a total 5% acquisition fee). The Partnership incurred $55,000 in acquisition fees in 2003 relating to the purchase of the Taco Bell property. No acquisition fees were incurred in 2002 and 2001.

     The Partnership has entered into an asset management agreement with the General Partner and its affiliates, pursuant to which the General Partner and the General Partner’s affiliates provide various property and equipment management services for the Partnership. A subordinated asset management fee is charged, in an amount equal to 1% of the gross rental revenues derived from the properties and equipment. Payment of the asset management fee is subordinated to receipt by the limited partners of annual distributions equal to a cumulative, non-compounded return of 10% per annum on their adjusted invested capital. Management fees of $43,093, $48,142 and $47,426 were incurred during 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

     The Partnership Agreement provides for the General Partner to receive liquidation fees limited to the lesser of 3% of the gross sales price or 50% of the customary real estate commissions in the event of a real estate liquidation. This fee is payable only after the Limited Partners have received distributions equal to a cumulative, non-compounded return of 10.5% per annum, cumulative non-compounded preferred return on their adjusted invested capital plus distributions of sale or refinancing proceeds equal to 100% of their original contributions. The Partnership did not pay any liquidation fees during 2003, 2002 or 2001.

     The Partnership Agreement provides for the payment of equipment liquidation fees to the General Partner in the amount of 3% of the contract sales price. The Partnership did not incur any equipment liquidation fees during 2003 and 2002.

     An affiliate of the Partnership, a Small Business Investment Corporation (“SBIC”), has invested in certain entities that have leases with the Partnership. As a result of the investments made through the SBIC, Mr. Beach or his associates in the SBIC, may have board representation in these companies. The Partnership and its General Partner believe that the leases are at market rates for such properties and equipment.

     In April 2003, the Partnership acquired a property located in Harrison, Ohio subject to an existing lease with a Taco Bell Franchisee. The property was purchased from an affiliate for a price of $1,100,000 plus acquisition fees of $55,000, which the Partnership funded with $230,000 of cash and $920,000 of proceeds from two term notes issued in connection with the purchase. The lease is an absolute net lease that expires in September 2019. Under the terms of the lease, annual rent is presently $115,000 and will increase 10.4% in September 2004 and every five years thereafter.

     In December 2001, Captec Net Lease merged with and into Commercial Net Lease. In connection with the merger, Commercial Net Lease agreed to sell and assign its General Partnership interest in the Partnership to GP4 Asset Acquisition, which is wholly-owned by Patrick L. Beach. Patrick L. Beach is the former Chairman of the Board of Directors and President and Chief Executive Officer of Captec Net Lease and an original general partner of the Partnership. Effective January 15, 2002, the limited partners consented to the transfer of the General Partnership interest. On September 11, 2003, the Partnership’s secured lender consented to the transfer of the general partnership interest to GP4 Asset Acquisition. Upon receipt of the secured lender’s consent, the general

10


Table of Contents

partnership interest was immediately transferred to GP4 Asset Acquisition. Therefore, as of September 11, 2003, GP4 Asset Acquisition became the general partner of the Partnership.

     The agreements and arrangements, including those relating to compensation, between the Partnership and the General Partner or any of its affiliates have not been and will not be the result of arm’s-length negotiations, although the General Partner believes that such agreements and arrangements will approximate those which would be arrived at through arm’s-length negotiations. While the Partnership will make no loans to the General Partner or its affiliates, the Partnership may borrow money from the General Partner or its affiliates but only on such terms as to interest rate, security, fees and other charges at least as favorable to the Partnership as are charged by unaffiliated lending institutions in the same locality on comparable loans for the same purpose. The General Partner and its affiliates are not prohibited from providing services to, and otherwise dealing or doing business with, persons (for example, franchisees), who may deal with the Partnership. However, the Partnership Agreement prohibits receipt of rebates or participation in any reciprocal business arrangements which would have the effect of circumventing any of the provisions of the Partnership Agreement.

Captec Franchise Capital Partners, L.P. IV
Notes to Financial Statements

1.   The Partnership and Its Significant Accounting Principles
 
    Captec Franchise Capital Partners L.P. IV (the “Partnership”), a Delaware limited partnership, was organized on July 23, 1996 for the purpose of acquiring income-producing commercial real properties and equipment leased on a “triple net” or “double net” basis, primarily to operators of national and regional chain franchised fast food and family style restaurants, as well as other national and regional retail chains.
 
    The initial general partners of the Partnership were Captec Franchise Capital Corporation IV (the “Corporation”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Captec Financial Group, Inc. (“Captec”), an affiliate, and Patrick L. Beach, the Chairman of the Board of Directors, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation and Captec. In August 1998, Captec Net Lease Realty, Inc. (“Captec Net Lease”), an affiliate, acquired the General Partnership interest of the Partnership. In December 2001, Captec Net Lease merged with and into Commercial Net Lease Realty, Inc. (“Commercial Net Lease”). In connection with the merger, Commercial Net Lease agreed to sell and assign its General Partnership interest in the Partnership to GP4 Asset Acquisition, LLC (“GP4 Asset Acquisition”), which is wholly-owned by Mr. Beach and is an affiliate of Captec. Effective January 15, 2002, the limited partners consented to the transfer of the General Partnership interest. On September 11, 2003, the Partnership’s secured lender consented to the transfer of the general partnership interest to GP4 Asset Acquisition. Upon receipt of the secured lender’s consent, the general partnership interest was immediately transferred to GP4 Asset Acquisition. Therefore, as of September 11, 2003, GP4 Asset Acquisition became the general partner of the Partnership.
 
    The Partnership commenced a public offering (the “Offering”) of up to 30,000 limited partnership units (the “Units”), priced at $1,000 per Unit, registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, by means of a Registration Statement filed on Form S-11, which was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 23, 1996. The Partnership accepted subscriptions for the minimum number of Units on March 5, 1997 and immediately commenced operations. The Offering was fully subscribed in December 1998. Since 1999, 845 Units have been repurchased by the Partnership pursuant to the terms of the Repurchase Plan set forth in the Partnership’s December 23, 1996 prospectus with respect to the Offering. At December 31, 2003, the Partnership had 29,155 Units issued and outstanding.
 
    The principal investment objectives of the Partnership are: (i) preservation and protection of capital; (ii) distribution of cash flow generated by the Partnership’s leases; (iii) capital appreciation of Partnership properties; (iv) generation of increased income and protection against inflation through escalation of base rents or participation in gross revenues of tenants of Partnership properties; and (v) deferred taxation of cash distributions to the limited partners.
 
    Allocation of profits, losses and cash distributions from operations and cash distributions from sale or refinancing are made pursuant to the terms of the Partnership Agreement. Profits and losses from operations are allocated among the limited partners based upon the number of Units owned.
 
    Following is a summary of the Partnership’s significant accounting policies:
 
    Cash and cash equivalents
 
    The Partnership considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

F-7


Table of Contents

    Restricted cash
 
    The Partnership is required to maintain a cash balance in an escrow account until specific post closing requirements have been satisfied related to a note payable.
 
    Rental income from operating leases
 
    The Partnership’s operating leases have scheduled rent increases which occur at various dates throughout the lease terms. Increases to rental income on leases that provide for rental increases based on changes in the Consumer Price Index commence being recognized when the increase is known. The Partnership recognizes the total rent, as stipulated by the lease agreement, as income on a straight-line basis over the term of each lease for those leases with fixed percentage increases subject to reasonably assured collectibilty. To the extent rental income on the straight-line basis exceeds rents billable per the lease agreement, an amount is recorded as unbilled rent. In addition to scheduled rent increases, certain of the Partnership’s leases also have percentage and overage rent clauses, which the Partnership recognizes after the tenants’ reported sales have exceeded the applicable sales breakpoint. Straight line rental income accruals are suspended by the Partnership on leases that are delinquent by more than 90 days. The Partnership has a receivable of approximately $226,000 related to delinquent rent. In the opinion of the General Partner, this amount is fully recoverable based on collateral.
 
    As of December 31, 2003, operating leases to S&A Restaurants Corporation, United Supermarkets, Inc. and Hollywood Entertainment Corp. represented 17.38%, 14.14% and 9.03% respectively, of the annualized rent from the total portfolio. Any performance failure under these leases could materially adversely affect the Partnership’s income and financial position.
 
    Land and buildings subject to operating leases
 
    Land and buildings subject to operating leases are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Buildings are depreciated on the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives (40 years). The Partnership periodically reviews its real estate portfolio for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the property may not be recoverable. If an impairment loss is indicated using undiscounted cash flows, the loss is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the estimated fair or present value of the asset on a discounted cash flow basis.
 
    The cost of the properties acquired is allocated among tangible land, buildings and equipment and recognized intangibles based upon estimated fair values in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No 141, “Business Combinations”. Recognized intangibles include the value of acquired lease contracts. In computing the value of acquired lease contracts, consideration is given to (a) whether the lease is at market rates, (b) origination fees typically incurred to negotiate a contract, and (c) recovery costs to replace the tenant.
 
    As of December 31, 2003, approximately 88.5% of the properties owned by the Partnership are occupied and the related leases are performing, and all of the Partnership’s investments in equipment subject to financing leases are performing. The Partnership has two properties which are vacant and for which rental payments have been delinquent approximately fourteen months. The tenant experienced financial difficulties that resulted in the store’s recent closure. The Partnership is actively seeking to re-tenant the properties as well as pursuing rights and remedies under the leases to collect all the amounts owed. In addition, the lease for a third property was terminated during the fourth quarter and a lease termination agreement was executed. The Partnership received approximately $254,000 which was applied against revenue from the property. The Partnership is actively seeking to re-tenant the property. The General Partner does not have sufficient evidence at this time to believe impairment exists on any of the vacant properties.
 
    All of the properties are subject to triple net leases on the Partnership’s form of standard lease pursuant to which the tenant is responsible for all expenses related to the cost of operating the properties, including real estate taxes, insurance, maintenance and repair costs. As of December 31, 2003, original base terms of the property leases ranged from 14 to 20 years, and the weighted average remaining base term of the property lease portfolio was 13 years. Certain of the leases provide the tenant with one or more options to renew the lease upon expiration of the base term at predetermined or market rental rates.

    Net investment in financing leases
 
    Net investment in financing leases represents one building used as a retail store that is subject to a long-term ground lease and equipment used in restaurant operations which are leased on a triple-net basis. Leases classified as financing leases are stated as the sum of the minimum lease payments plus the unguaranteed residual value accruing to the benefit of the lessor, less unearned income. Unearned income is amortized to income over the lease term so as to produce a constant periodic rate of return on the net investment in the lease. Direct origination costs are deferred and amortized over the life of the lease as an adjustment to yield. The Partnership periodically reviews its financing lease portfolio for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of a lease may not be recoverable. If impairment is indicated, a loss reserve is calculated based on the estimated amounts recoverable. At December 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002, the Partnership has provided an allowance $260,542 for uncollectible amounts associated with its financing leases.
 
    Note payable
 
    Notes Payable have fair values equal to $16,411,027 based on debt with similar terms reflecting current interest rates.
 
    Net income per limited partnership interest
 
    Net income per limited partnership interest is calculated using the weighted average number of limited partnership Units outstanding during the period and the limited partners’ allocable share of the net income.
 
    Distributions per limited partnership Unit
 
    Distributions per limited partnership Unit is calculated using the actual distributions disbursed during the period and the weighted average number of limited partnership Units outstanding during the period. Actual individual limited partner distributions realized may vary from this calculation as a result of a variety of factors including: (i) actual distributions are computed based on quarterly operating results and outstanding limited partnership units, which are disbursed in the subsequent quarter; (ii) certain limited partners have elected to receive monthly distributions versus quarterly distributions which creates timing differences between comparative calculations, and (iii) the calculation ignores the timing of repurchases.
 
    Income taxes
 
    No provision for income taxes is included in the accompanying financial statements, as the Partnership’s results of operations are passed through to the partners for inclusion in their respective income tax returns. The principal reasons for the difference between net income passed through to the partners for federal income tax purposes and financial statement purposes are the recognition of straight-line rent for reporting purposes, different useful lives and depreciation methods for real property and the provision for losses on deferred financing leases for reporting purposes versus bad debt expense for tax purposes.
 
    Estimates
 
    The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
    Reclassifications
 
    Certain prior period financial statement amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2003 presentations.
 
2.   Distributions
 
    Cash flows of the Partnership are allocated 99% to the limited partners and 1% to the General Partner, except that the General Partner’s share is subordinated to a 10% per annum cumulative, non-compounded preferred return to the limited partners. Net sale or refinancing proceeds of the Partnership are allocated 90% to the limited partners and 10% to the General Partner, except that the General Partner’s share is subordinated to a 10.5% per annum cumulative, non-compounded to the limited partners’ return on their

    Adjusted Investment plus return of the original contributions to the limited partners. Distributions of cash flow from operations are paid quarterly in arrears.
 
3.   Related Party Transactions and Agreements
 
    Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, the General Partner receives acquisition fees of 4%, plus an additional .00624% for each 1% of indebtedness incurred in acquiring properties and equipment, of the aggregate purchase prices of properties and equipment (not to exceed a total 5% acquisition fee). The Partnership incurred $55,000 acquisition fees during 2003 for the purchase of the Taco Bell property. In 2002 and 2001, the Partnership incurred no acquisition fees. The acquisition fees are capitalized as part of the Partnership’s investment in land and buildings subject to operating leases and net investment in financing leases. The Partnership has entered into an asset management agreement with the General Partner and its affiliates, whereby the General Partner and the General Partner’s affiliates provide various property and equipment management services for the Partnership. A subordinated asset management fee is charged, in an amount equal to 1% of the gross rental revenues derived from the properties and equipment. Payment of the asset management fee is subordinated to receipt by the limited partners of annual distributions equal to a cumulative, non-compounded return of 10% per annum on their adjusted invested capital. Management fees of $43,092, $48,142 and $47,426 were incurred during 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively.
 
    The Partnership Agreement provides for the General Partner to receive liquidation fees limited to the lesser of 3% of the gross sales price or 50% of the customary real estate commissions in the event of a real estate liquidation. This fee is payable only after the limited partners have received distributions equal to a cumulative, non-compounded return of 10.5% per annum, cumulative non-compounded preferred return on their adjusted invested capital plus distributions of sale or refinancing proceeds equal to 100% of their original contributions. The Partnership did not pay any liquidation fees during 2003, 2002 or 2001. The Partnership Agreement provides for the General Partner to receive equipment liquidation fees in the amount of 3% of the contract sales price. The Partnership did not incur any equipment liquidation fees during 2003, 2002 and 2001.
 
    In April 2003, the Partnership acquired a property located in Harrison, Ohio subject to an existing lease with a Taco Bell Franchisee. The property was purchased from an affiliate for a price of $1,100,000 plus acquisition fees of $55,000, which the Partnership funded with $230,000 of cash and $920,000 of proceeds from two term notes issued in connection with the purchase. The lease is an absolute net lease that expires in September 2019. Under the terms of the lease, annual rent is presently $115,000 and will increase 10.4% in September 2004 and every five years thereafter. In the opinion of the General Partner, the purchase price is believed to reflect market terms.
 
    An affiliate of the Partnership, a Small Business Investment Corporation (“SBIC”), has invested in certain entities that have leases with the Partnership. As a result of the investments made through the SBIC, Mr. Beach or his associates in the SBIC, may have board representation in these companies. The Partnership and its General Partner believe that the leases are at market rates for such properties and equipment.
